Roy Gardner, a resident of District One in Hueytown, was
appointed to serve on the Park and Recreation Board in another unanimous vote
of the council.

Gardner will serve out the unexpired term of Fran
Zinnerman, who resigned from the board after being elected to serve on the city
council. His term will run out Oct. 31, 2016.

"He's from the same district that Ms. Zinnerman was,"
said Mayor Delor Bauman after the meeting. "They try to find someone from the
same district to fill a vacancy, so that's the purpose of that, and he was qualified
to do so and he was interested in doing so."

The Mental Health Authority plans, coordinates and
develops the system of mental health services for Jefferson, Blount and St. Clair
counties, according to its web site.

Hueytown is one of 12 municipal governments that, along
with the three counties served, allocate public funds to the Authority and appoint
its Board of Directors.

According to Bauman, one facility connected with the
Authority -- the Gwen Adams Life Skills Center -- is located in Hueytown.

"We're very proud to have that here," he said.

In other business, the council voted unanimously to authorize
one new personal services contract and approve extensions for three other contracts for part-time city workers. This included three workers in
the city's court department.

The council also voted to annex two pieces of private property
into Hueytown after being petitioned by the owners. The pieces of property are located
in Bessemer but are contiguous to the Hueytown city limits.

"These are people who are in Bessemer but are currently
not being served by a fire department, and they qualify because they are close
enough to our fire hydrants, and we can serve them," Bauman said. "There are
situations where people aren't, and we have to defer them, so we looked at the
situation, and these people qualified."
